The Opportunity
Build a Career Not Just a Job
Are you handy with power tools, comfortable on a ladder, and looking for a trade where every day is different? At FASTSIGNS | Pittsburgh, we dont just hang signs-we build the visual identity of our city.
We are looking for an Installation Assistant to be the right hand to our Lead Installer. This is a high-energy, hands-on role where you will help transport, assemble, and mount custom signs across the region. If youre tired of being stuck behind a desk or in a warehouse and want to learn electrical carpentry and architectural graphics, this is your starting line.
What Youll Do
Responsibilities:
• Support the Mission • Assist the Lead Installer in the safe and precise mounting of channel letters, monument signs, and high-end wall graphics. • Master the Gear: Take ownership of the Pre-Flight check. Youll ensure the van is fully stocked with the correct drill bits, fasteners, and hardware before leaving the shop. • On-Site Precision: Help secure signs into brick, concrete, and metal. Youll be the second set of hands ensuring everything is level, centered, and safe. • Safety Watch: Act as the ground-safety spotter during bucket truck and aerial lift operations, ensuring the public and the crew remain safe. • Learn the Trade: Proactively learn the technical skills required to eventually move into a Lead Installer role.
Who You Are
Requirements:
• Foundational Skill: You already know how to safely use a cordless drill, impact driver, and tape measure. You can read a tape measure to the 116th of an inch. • Comfort with Heights: You are 100% comfortable working on ladders, scaffolding, and elevated platforms up to 30ft. No fear of heights allowed. • Physical Grit: This is a physical job. You must be able to lift 50 lbs and work outdoors in the varied Pittsburgh weather. • Mechanical Aptitude: Youre the person friends call when they need help fixing things. You understand how parts fit together. • Reliability: You are a clock-in-early professional. Our trucks leave on time, and the team depends on you to be there. • Clean Record: Valid drivers license and a clean driving record are required for our insurance.
